Hi,
As some of you know, currently I work on improving the Sharp SL-6000 (tosa)
kernel support. Some parts are going to be merged RSN, some parts are still
in preparation to submission. A pile of patches can't be submitted because
of backwards dependencies. Currently my patchset contains 54 patches.
Now back to support of tosa in OE. I think I have several options:
0) linux-rp-2.6.23 contains support for the device. It has problems, but it's
mostly working. So leave it just for now, don't touch 2.6.24 and wait for
2.6.25.
I would prefer not to follow this path as I want to enlarge testing base
for patchset and to let tosa-owners use decent kernel features.
1) Add all my patches on the top of linux-rp-2.6.24 as the tosa-specific part.
This can be hard, as I touch various bits of kernel, this can require
major efforts.
2) Just start linux-tosa recipe branch, importing few patches from linux-rp,
and merge them later.
No major pros et contras.
What would you recommend?
